Yeah, I looked at Koha too and sent them an email. Evergreen seems to have more support , which I like. Koha seems like it’d work great for our smaller schools of ~300 students, but our larger middle and high schools of ~800 students it might not work so well with, at least from what I’ve been

I wonder how often folks on the Koha list suggest Evergreen to people asking questions about Koha. Not that there is anything wrong with Koha, I've actually 'somewhat' helped install it on occasion, but if we want Evergreen to grow it's user base we better focus on helping new users/answering

I was looking at http://www.koha.org/main.asp before, as well as a couple blogs here and there. I would think it'd be rather common for libraries to be transferring from an expensive and legacy system to a newer and OS system. I remember our city library ran Windows 98 thin clients for years

No problem Tara, I can see why one would get that error message when trying to checkout something that should be waiting to be picked up. I also see where the booking code limits what you get shown to pickup such that if something's not picked up on the first day of its reservation, it
